When we were talking about the plans and the vision for this new building, I had this vision

of this big, new project.

How that spoke to me was that is also the gospel story, right? It is Christ renovating our souls. We're the same person, but he renovates us. He changes us. And so my prayer

as we were ending was that we would see many people who have their souls renovated

through the Holy Spirit by the work of our community, our body of believers, through the building.

So it was exciting.

I have discovered and continue to believe that, like, God is truly Elroy.

Like, he is the God that sees.

And he has seen me, like, at the village through all of these seasons.

He continues to see me.

He has used TVC as an extension of his grace and his mercy to draw me closer to himself.

We really are a community. Although we look different, we are in different stages of life.

The Lord always meets us where we are and then moves us forward.

I've seen God work mightily,

and building community for myself and for others.

And it's just been the most rewarding gift that God has graced me with.

Well, my hope for the future is actually for, not just in the church as the building, but

the church as the Jesus people and as a people different to the rest of the world.

So the generations can just continue thriving and continue flowing.
